Chapter 854.2: Unpleasant Price
Soon, a light red aura appeared in the room. There were a large number of light blue threads hidden within this light red aura, however, these threads could only be detected by very careful observation.
After about half an hour, Su Xiao's eyes returned to clarity.
— Is that my aura? Su Xiao muttered as he looked around the room. The light red color of his aura meant that he had killed too many people, and those almost invisible blue threads in his aura somehow reminded him of the energy of Qing Gang Yin.
When he opened his skill list, he saw a new skill in it.
[Aura Release: Level 1 (Passive Skill).
Skill Effect: You can condense your aura to a visible level. When the skill is activated, the generated aura will have a negative effect on enemies whose willpower is at least 3 points behind your own. If these conditions are met, the enemy will fall into a panic, which can be eliminated with the help of skills such as the action "mind cleansing".».
Reminder: If the opponent's willpower is 3 points or more lower than your own, they will panic. In this state, the physical strength expenditure rate will be +12%, and the body defense will be reduced by 6 points. When activating a skill in a state of panic, there is a 3% chance of unsuccessful activation..
Reminder: When you improve this skill, the quality of your aura will improve slightly. Willpower will grow at a moderate pace as the skill improves.]
Su Xiao was stunned when he saw the description of this skill. He was only level 1, but he was already so strong. Yes, he had seen the description of this skill before, but he was surprised that now that he had learned it, he had an additional line saying that in addition to strengthening the effect of the aura, the willpower of the owner of this skill would also grow.
This basically meant that this skill would become even more abnormal in the future.
One had to remember that there were basically very few ways to improve one's willpower, but this skill provided such a rare boost.
Su Xiao immediately decided to improve this skill and a corresponding window appeared in front of him a moment later.
[Please select the skill you want to improve.]
After Su Xiao selected "Aura Release: Level 1 (Passive Skill)", a new window appeared in front of him.
[To upgrade "Aura Release: Level 1 (Passive Skill)", you need to pay 30,000 Paradise Coins.
Do you want to improve this skill?
yes/no.]
Improving this skill was a very expensive treat. It would have already cost 30,000 Paradise Coins to level up at the very beginning. In the past, when he leveled up his firearm proficiency, leveling up one level would only cost 2,000 Paradise Coins.
Although the upgrade price was a bit high, fortunately, apart from coins, there was no need to give away soul crystals. If he also required soul crystals to level up, then Su Xiao would end up going bankrupt.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao decided to level up this skill.
Everything around him suddenly went dark, and in the next moment, he felt the familiar sensation of teleportation.
Blinking, Su Xiao realized that he was on a battlefield with corpses everywhere and a faint red mist floating around.
Not far away, he saw a headless giant dragon. A huge number of strong people's corpses were scattered around him. Any one of these people could have killed Su Xiao without much trouble, but right now, they were all dead.
The red mist that was hovering over this battlefield suddenly began to gather and gradually began to converge on Su Xiao, as if it wanted to devour him alive.
And no, this fog wasn't friendly at all. If this fog were to enter Su Xiao's body, it wouldn't kill him, but it would at least make him go mad.
Su Xiao's aura immediately burst out, and light blue threads in the aura flashed.
The red mist started trying to push through Su Xiao's aura.
He could only defend against this fog with his own aura.
Su Xiao hadn't expected that improving this skill would involve so much risk, but right now, he couldn't stop and could only block out this fog around him.
This red mist seemed to want to engulf Su Xiao. Of course, Su Xiao didn't intend to die and used his own aura to fight back, but the fog on this battlefield was too strong, and his aura wouldn't be able to last long against such a strong onslaught.
*Crackle...*
The aura around Su Xiao turned completely blood-red, as did his eyes.
Suddenly, he felt the familiar sensation of teleportation. When Su Xiao regained consciousness, he was already in a familiar room.
The blood that had already seeped into his body was gone.
[Aura Release skill has been upgraded to Level 2.]
[Your willpower has been increased by 1 point.]
Seeing these two notifications, Su Xiao's pupils narrowed. Now this test seemed like a good one. So what was the big deal that he needed to defend against this fog on the former battlefield? What was the big deal that he had to block this fog with his own aura? Why not? Who knows, maybe in addition to improving the skill, he will also be able to develop some new skill?
If it was anyone else, he might not have dared to take such a risk, but Su Xiao had a Devouring Core and a Devil's Mark, and that the former and the latter were able to absorb and filter energy. Basically, he could try to absorb that mist and turn it into his own power.
Considering how much of this fog was there, he would clearly be able to become stronger much faster.
Of course, it was quite a dangerous matter, but Su Xiao felt that the risk was worth it.
— As soon as Su Xiao said that, 30,000 Paradise coins were immediately deducted from his balance, and he felt the familiar sensation of teleportation.
